Carbion+
25 Servings  CARBION+ HIGH PERFORMANCE TRAINING FUEL New CARBION+ has taken hydration to a whole new level.  Not only is it the best tasting, most refreshing drink you’ve ever tasted but it will improve your training and deliver better results.  You need carbohydrates to fuel your muscles and delay the onset of fatigue. CARBION+’s phased delivery carbohydrates will maintain your blood glucose levels longer so you don’t crash and you can keep going longer and harder at a higher level of performance.  When you sweat, you lose electrolytes as well as water. If your levels of electrolytes drop too far, performance suffers.  Increased levels of highly absorbable electrolytes in new CARBION+ will ensure you stay hydrated so you can retain and utilize the fluids you are consuming.  Additionally, the absorption blend in CARBION+ helps to initiate the uptake of blood glucose into cells, meaning more actual fuel in the muscle. KEY BENEFITS OF CARBION+ • More Refreshing – CARBION+ has been reformulated with a highly soluble carbohydrate blend that mixes easily and results in a clear, refreshing, incredibly delicious drink that will crush your thirst.  A perfectly balanced blend of multiple forms of electrolytes has eliminated the salty, metallic taste often associated with high electrolyte levels so each sip leaves you feeling refreshed and your thirst quenched.  • Better Hydration – The electrolyte blend has been ramped up with more of the 4 key electrolytes that you need to stay hydrated during intense exercise.  In addition, the source of these electrolytes has been optimized for improved absorption.  Utilizing bicarbonate and citrate forms in addition to the more typical chloride forms results in improved absorption as well as improved taste.   • Fuels Improved Performance – The Phased Delivery Energy Blend was designed to provide fuel for your entire workout without the energy crash associated with sugar based sports drinks.  Tests performed with high performance athletes during training has confirmed up to 50% improvement in stamina as well as a reduced perception of fatigue.  • Faster Recovery – Most athletes understand the importance of protein for recovery but the importance of carbohydrates is not as well recognized.

define[glucose+]
define[glucose+]
 30 servings 1 serving= 1 scoop [glucose+] (gloo-kohs) n. n. A simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates. n. A powdered simple carbohydrate used to replenish energy and spike insulin before, during, and/or after training.  Description define[glucose+] is the very definition of what a peri-workout (before, during, and after workout) carbohydrate supplement should be. define[glucose+] is comprised of a combination of d-glucose and Cluster Dextrin®. D-glucose is the most simple form of carbohydrates meaning that it does not need time to break down to be used. Cluster Dextrin® on the other hand is a more complex carbohydrate, meaning it will take a little time to break down to be used. But, it has a much higher molecular weight, so it will move through the stomach much faster and helps the product sit much lighter. Combining the two carbohydrates will replenish glycogen, muscular energy used during training, as quickly and effectively as possible. The two will also spike insulin, which is crucial when helping transport nutrients like amino acids throughout the body to places like muscle cells, without causing a crash afterward. define[glucose+] can be used before, during, and/or after your workout, and is unflavored to mix well with things like pre-workout, electrolytes, or protein. define[glucose+] is important when building muscle, burning fat, and/or increasing performance, and the servings and serving sizes can be manipulated to better fit your goals. These qualities make define[glucose+] the most ideal supplement to take peri-workout. FAQs Why take d-Glucose and Highly Branch Cyclic Dextrin around a workout? Consuming simple carbohydrates peri-workout (before, during, and after your workout) is the most crucial step in recovery and muscle growth. This is because consuming simple carbs helps take care of the first step in recovery, muscular glycogen (muscle energy) replenishment. If your body does not have simple carbs to replenish muscular glycogen, it will break down other muscles in your body and/or use the protein you consume around a workout to replenish this glycogen. This can lead to a loss of muscle tissue and a setback in recovery. This is why pairing a simple carbohydrate and whey protein isolate is a holistic post-workout recovery drink, as the simple carbohydrates help replenish glycogen stores, and the whey protein isolate is used for muscular recovery and growth. In addition to glycogen replenishment, consuming simple carbs peri-workout increases your body’s insulin levels. Insulin is a hormone that delivers nutrients from your bloodstream to the different parts of your body including muscle tissue. Therefore, increasing your insulin right around your workout means you can have better nutrient delivery to your muscles when it matters most. Combing d-glucose and HBCD will help reduce or even eliminate the crash that d-glucose alone might have, while still getting the job done. How to use Post-workout: 1 scoop define[glucose+] 1 scoop define[isolate] Mixed with 8oz cold water *define[glucose+] can be used in a number of ways outside of the directions listed above.

Ignition Ignition
Ignition
**Only Available in Stores**  Glycogen Proper recovery from training is essential regardless if your fitness goal is to burn fat or build muscle. Ignition is a necessity for proper post workout supplementation. Ignition signals to your body to start repair by spiking insulin and replenishing glycogen stores. By doing this you will begin the recovery process immediately. The more time in recovery, the better the results. Ignite Muscle Growth Restore Glycogen Levels Post-Workout Decrease Recovery Time Increase Nutrient Delivery Post-Workout Replenishes Glycogen Stores, Improves Muscle Stamina, Spikes Insulin,Ignites Muscle Growth It’s no mystery that quality muscle gains start with your post-workout nutrition. What you put into your body immediately after intense exercise can make or break your results. Ignition was designed to address the most overlooked component of proper post workout nutrition— replenishing your glycogen stores and spiking your insulin for maximum protein and nutrient assimilation. You’ve been hearing for years to drink protein immediately after your workout, but that’s only part of the story! The truth is that protein post workout is only a small component of what your body needs for proper recovery and is not even its top priority when you walk out of the gym. Taking a protein shake on its own is better than taking nothing at all, but at 1st Phorm® we are about getting you the best possible results, not the “better than nothing” results. Flying solo with protein only after a workout means that your body will very slowly digest this protein, convert most of it into glucose and push it into the cell as glycogen. That translates into a lot of wasted time, effort, and money on your part and leaves no protein in the end to build and repair with since it has all been converted into glycogen. The time and effort that your body could be recovering or building muscle is spent with remedial digestive tasks; money you’ve spent on proteins is essentially wasted in the conversion process. In addition to a whey isolate, you should always consume a fast absorbing carbohydrate that spikes your insulin levels to replenish glycogen stores and take full advantage of the proteins you are taking. Glycogen is your body’s carbohydrate stores that serve essentially as your on-board battery. Training with weights severely depletes your glycogen stores and drains the battery. We all know how pumped we get in the gym and how great we feel when we walk out, but we all also know about that “flat” feeling we get about an hour later after the pump wears off. That “flat” feeling is from a lack of glycogen in the muscle – you used it all up at the gym and your body is scrambling to take every-thing you throw at it to fill them back up again. Your body is programmed to address this issue first when you walk out of the gym. It does not care about building muscle or burning fat—its focus is on charging that battery back-up. Building muscle and burning fat aren’t essential for survival, having the proper amount of glycogen on-board is. Your body is programmed for survival first and that’s what it's going to take care of, replenishing glycogen. Until that’s taken care of you can forget about your body repairing and rebuilding muscle. Ignition is pure dexanhydrous glucose. There is not a form of carbohydrates anywhere known to man that is more pure or refined or that can deliver glycogen directly to the muscles any faster. It literally will ignite muscle growth by replenishing your glycogen stores immediately and spiking your insulin levels to allow maximum protein assimilation. In a nutshell, it creates an optimal environment for recovery and protein synthesis.Insulin is a hormone in your body and if you harness it’s power correctly and at the right times, it will lead to explosive muscle growth. Insulin is, for all intents and purposes, the key that unlocks your cell to allow proteins into it. When an insulin spike occurs, the muscle cell doors open to allow your body to absorb protein. In doing so you are able to retain and utilize a much higher percentage of protein by pushing it straight into the muscle cell for conversion. Unlike other simple or fast absorbing carbohydrate sources such as sucrose, fructose, and even waxy maize starch that offer little to no insulin response, Ignition actually delivers pure dexanhydrous glucose to the cell which offers an insulin spike up to 6X greater than these other sugars. One serving of Ignition delivers 46 grams of pure dexanhydrous glucose directly to the muscle cell for an insulin spike unsurpassed by any other product or source. Ignition is also designed to bypass liver storage in order to hit your muscles immediately. Other sugars must be collected in the liver first and then be distributed slowly throughout the body from there, this can take several hours. Ignition saves valuable time and gets the body in recovery mode instantly! Don’t waste your money on expensive proteins just for your body to inefficiently waste them by converting them into glycogen slowly over time. Always stack Ignition with your high quality hydrolyzed whey isolate post workout. The very first time you take Ignition you will notice the immediate effects of increased energy, increased muscle stamina, huge pumps and increased mental alertness. Ignition allows you to do something no other product does: Buy time. When you stack Ignition with a high quality hydrolyzed whey isolate immediately after your training, you are buying muscle-building time. By shortening your recovery time, you are adding muscle-building time to your day, in fact, in many cases up to several hours a day. Over the course of a year it adds up…for a person who just casually trains 3X a week it tallies up to almost a month of extra muscle building time you didn’t have before. Ignition lives up to its name by igniting the anabolic growth process in your body. You will see and feel the results in a matter of days and in no time, you’ll be filling out your shirtsleeves with incredible pumps! **These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
